" LMA Accident confusion
I have heard millions of stories across the resort, through friends, guests at the parks and online. No one was killed or seriously injured but here is the official story as to what happened the other day in case you want to know. (So everyone else, shut up about what you were told)
During the opening Ballet scene one of the pursuit cars (The black ones) clipped the side of a building at 50ish MPH. This caused the car to spin out and collide with the Hero car (The red one). The hero car was wedged under a "bridge" (Set peice on stage, not the bridge on the far side of the stage). Reedy Creek was called in and the driver was cut from the car. He is doing fine and is already back driving "on lite" (Meaning no real stunts for at least two weeks). He had an existing problem with his back (from working at LMA in Paris) which was aggrivated but it is doing better. The only injury he suffered is a broken thumb.
LMA going dark for the month of april and the accident are purely coincidence. This has been planned for months on end. During April, the crew will be going through a series of "What if..." senarios. These are ranging from the possibility of one of the hero cars not being available, they have to skip a scene, an element of the show isn't avialable, the show has to be ended due to an accident (Yes, these guys to pratice everyday. But doing these stunts at 40-50 MPH in the close quarters that they do these in, it is a very real threat)."
